Now, with more screaming and shooting

It rained today for the first time in two weeks -- all day long, drizzle ranging to a steady light rain. At the end of the day I really didn't want to sit in traffic in the rain all the way home -- it's bad enough at rush hour -- so I went to see a movie, Be Cool. A few entertaining moments, but mostly just a lot of posturing, posing, preening, gun pointing, screamed obscenities, faux gangsterism... And Uma Thurman, she's going to regret it. Only 34, she looks 44. Maybe they deliberately made her look old to make John Travolta -- playing possibly the only Hollywood-producer character in movie history to wear all black -- look decent. It's going to be all downhill for Uma after this -- she's going to start playing the mothers of teenage stars, then the mothers of ingenues, then -- darkness.

Speaking of stars who look like hell, Dig this Boing Boing posting.
